If you attend Art Miami every year, (a satellite show of Art Basel, the largest art exhibition in America), you know Li Hongbo, a Chinese born artist who is best known for his lifelike paper sculptures. He has the kind of art pieces that make you stop and stare.
Li Hongbo is represented by the Klein Sun Gallery in New York City.
It is really worthwhile for you to view the videos. His work his magical and filled with surprises. Hongbo’s pieces consists of 7,000 to 8,000 sheets of white paper stacked on top of each other. They are glued in a honeycomb structure so they are flexibile and sturdy.
Each concept is very different from the one previously conceived. They are priced around $16,000
Very inventive! If you must use 8000 pieces of white paper, that’s a good use for them!
Eliot has plenty of books to do some book art himself!
Fascinating!!! 🙂
